Santa Madre v. Dagounakis

Santa Madre v. Dagounakis
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided April 25, 1960
277 F.2d 461 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Santa Madre v. Dagounakis

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The controversy here is whether the shipowner’s attorney was authorized to settle a personal injury claim against the ship and its owner for $7,000.00 plus costs. The plaintiff, Dagounakis, is a Greek seaman who was allegedly injured on the “Santa Madre” as a result of an unseaworthy condition.

The District Judge found that the settlement was authorized, and this finding *462is amply supported in the record. We find no basis for setting aside the court’s order awarding judgment, and we affirm on the District Court’s opinion, 183 F. Supp. 54.

Affirmed.
